🤝 Why This Project?

I created defold - mcp to explore how to integrate Defold into a more modern development toolchain. I hope to make game development more efficient and fun through automation and AI - driven workflows. I know this project is not perfect, but I hope it can inspire others to contribute and build a better future for the Defold community together.

⚠️ Important Note

This is my first attempt at creating an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It is still very incomplete and lacks many features, but I hope that someone smarter than me can really build on the work I've started!
